Built in both 100-ton and 102-ton variants, these wagons became a staple of British Rail’s bulk liquid freight operations, particularly during the sectorisation era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed in large numbers between the 1960s and 1980s, and later updated variants produced through the 1990s and 2000s, TEA wagons remain in use today on oil traffic services between refineries, terminals, and storage depots across the UK. Their longevity and versatility have made them one of the most recognisable freight wagon types in modern British rail history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model represents the widely seen Shell-owned TEA tanker, a branding lineage that dates back to the early 20th century and remains strongly associated with UK fuel transportation, making it an essential addition for OO Scale modellers depicting both BR and post-privatisation freight operations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54302600921427,"sku":"R60364","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_R60364.jpg?v=1785764069","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/r60364-hornby-railroad-shell-100t-tanker-wagon","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
